Cocoa police invite public comment in reaccreditation process

Cocoa Police Department is inviting public comment as part of its accreditation renewal process with the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation.

Members of the general public are encouraged to send comments regarding Cocoa Police Department's ability to comply with CFA standards. A complete guide to the standards expected of law enforcement agencies can be found at flaaccreditation.org.

Comments must be sent in writing to CFA, P.O. Box 1480, Talahassee, FL, 32302.

Assessors from the CFA will arrive on April 17 and spend three days examining Cocoa Police Department policies and procedures in all areas. Law enforcement agencies are expected to be re-accredited every three years.

“The public is encouraged to participate in this process to make sure we are delivering the professional level of service every citizen deserves,” Chief Mike Cantaloupe said in a statement. “We take this process very seriously and hope to once again be successful in our compliance with these professional standards.”
